The 2010 Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music will take place from August 1-15. Lynne will perform with the festival orchestra throughout the festival. Under the direction of Maestro Marin Alsop, the festival will feature the music of -  and appearances by – composers such as Jennifer Higdon, Mark-Anthony Turnage, Kevin Puts, Phillip Glass, Thomas Ades, and John Adams.

This year’s festival will include performances by the Kronos Quartet, Eighth Blackbird, percussionist Colin Currie, cellist Wendy Sutter, and composer/pianist Kevin Puts.

The Cabrillo Festival concerts are some of the most exciting performances Lynne has ever been a part of. If you can visit us in California for this festival, you will have a very memorable experience!

On July 18th, Lynne will appear with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra at the “Concert of Colors” festival. Under the direction of Maestro Tito Munoz, the DSO will perform several works with oud soloist Simon Shaheen.

This is a free event at Orchestra Hall in Detroit.

I’m back to blogging, after a long hiatus from updating this website. While I’ve been playing many concerts and teaching a lot of lessons in the past year, I had many other things that took priority over updating this site.

Now, I’m ready to update the site with new performances, teaching information and advice. Please bear with me as I update many links and add more content.

Once again, the Michigan Sinfonietta will accompany the Plymouth Oratorio Society for a springtime concert of chorus and orchestra. This year’s program includes:

• Misericordias Domini by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
• Johann Pachelbel’s Magnificat in C
• settings of Psalm 86 and Psalm 148 by Gustav Holst

The concert will take place at the First United Methodist Church in Plymouth at 4501 N. Territorial Road, just west of Sheldon.

Admission is free.

The Windsor Symphony Orchestra presents a concert of music from the big screen on April 18 and 19. Lynne will join the orchestra as guest Principal Oboe.

Lead by Music Director John Morris Russell, this concert will feature host Michael Richard Plowman, who has written music for films, television, and video games.

The concert will include works by Plowman and fellow movie composer John Williams, including music from Jaws, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, and Schindler’s List.

Both concerts will be held at the Chrysler Theatre in Windsor. For tickets and concert information, visit the Windsor Symphony website at http://www.windsorsymphony.com/season/pops508-09.html
